i'm also curious but if i had to put money on it i would guess it was one of those big heavy scented candles in a glass jar (which people sometimes have in bathrooms to cover up the pooping smells lol) and they dropped it and it hit the toilet
Girl I do not know I was sleeping!!! All I know is it fell from the shelf weāve got above our toilet (like 5 feet). I guess the velocity generated enough force to shatter the porcelain OR the candle was really just that sturdy.
I apologize that I do not have graphs of how the candle hit the toilet readily available šš»
Donāt think that oneās gonna work nearly as well as an excuse, unless hubby is ready to get REALLY into shitting outside until the new toilet arrives!
I knowā¦ itās just when she āclarifiedā she said āit fell over and this happenedā- and then the first reply was āyup hot wax can be explosiveā.
āFell overā is a bad way to say ācandle in heavy glass holder fell OFF and down five feet until it smashed into the bowlā.
I'm assuming a somewhat large candle fell/slid off the top of the tank or a shelf above that. A large, full Yankee candle could absolutely smash that porcelain at the right angle.
I'm assuming this is a bot that got this post from somewhere else and reposted it. The text mentions Halloween night, which last occurred over a month ago
Ok sorry that was my bad lol. By fix it I meant replace it! They lowk did not caulk the bottom though, but dude was bleeding so I cannot complain.
Also before I get dragged both me and my fiance urged him to go to the ER rather than finish replacing the toilet, but he insisted he was fine. (Also fiance is a doctor so was able to help a little)
Everyone is wondering how a candle broke the toilet. Weāre not talking about a wax projectile. Weāre taking about a wrecking ball ass yankee candle falling on it. Right?
My son in his toddler phase once was climbing on the toilet to get to the shelf above it and knocked this decorative bottle i kept there off. The bottle was thick-bottomed, but not insanely thick glass. But somehow, on its way down, it hit the corner of the toilet tank cover and snapped it right off, before landing unbroken on the hard tile floor. Damnedest thing I ever saw. My conclusion from these two data points is that glass beats porcelain.
Lol me being an idiot thought you put a floating candle in the toilet water bowl and the heat from it cracked the porcelain until I read about a candle being dropped hahaha
My husband broke a toilet like this twice within a year. Once was a cologne bottle. I forgot how it happened the other time. I couldnāt believe it. In all my years Iād never seen a toilet break and he managed it twice.
This exact thing happened to my husband! It was a crazy loony-toon looking crack. He was removing a sleeve off a candle to light and it slipped out, fell in the toilet, broke the toilet, candle was fine. I just said ā HOW? Only you could do thisš¤£āābut it looks like heās NOT the only one.
I want to know what's up with the party lights. Specifically, why are they so poorly placed?? They start off along the trim, loop over the plumbing, and then the string just ends limply hanging on the floor.
I feel as though.. the information of how a candle meets a toilet in this manner is lacking.
i'm also curious but if i had to put money on it i would guess it was one of those big heavy scented candles in a glass jar (which people sometimes have in bathrooms to cover up the pooping smells lol) and they dropped it and it hit the toilet
Oh so they're not like putting it inside the bowl and then pooping using the flame to scare the poop out?
I mean which do you think is more likely? Candle dropping from above the toilet, or candle placed inside the bowl?
Clearly, it's more likely the candle was placed inside the bowl
Why didn't they just threaten it with a poop knife?
I'm sad I know about this lol
And yet we all welcome the deep reference.
I only welcome the tip, thank you.
I was thinking they had it on the floor too close to the toilet lol
With a tiny flamingo pool float š
i was also thinking maybe it was on the floor and the flame heated and cracked the bowl
Or understand the rim?
So it was the heat from the flame that cracked the bowl.
It was on Halloween. I! The toilet bowl would certainly be a scary place to have a candle!
You can create a cone with some paper and draw the shit out like an ear candle
This guy assholes.
It's not to scare it out, you big silly goose, it's to make it feel like hot shit.
Damn, I've been doing it wrong
NGL thats where my mind went first too.
Sounds like a frankenpoop situation.
This is exactly what happened šÆ
It is well known that poop is afraid of fire
And then the poop will put the candle out
I bet they don't even know how to use the three candles!
We have a small place and my fiance loves candles so theyāre kind of everywhere. He knocked one over on accident!
By accident
No, accident is the name of the toilet.
Sir, that's no accident
Sure it wasn't by assident?
Melted wax and cold water can be explosive FYI
Really? That sounds fucking fun. Brb gonna buy some candles
Action Lab has a good video on it.
Well that's next week's post sorted. DC38 is going to burn their house down.
Lmao I love your enthusiasm
lol not at all to shatter porcelain when weāre talking about a candle and bowl of water.
What brand was this Indestructible candle? Lol
But was it the weight of the candleholder / candle hitting the bowl or some wild thing like the other comment about hot wax?
It just hit the bowl!
How did it hit the bowl!!! Why are you so vague š

Maybe your husband just hated that candles scent? Hmmm š¤
Now heās gotta act like he hated the toilet š¤£
Donāt think that oneās gonna work nearly as well as an excuse, unless hubby is ready to get REALLY into shitting outside until the new toilet arrives!
Maybe the candle story was just to cover up his massive fart?
[removed]
Can we get an excel spreadsheet and pivot tables? Pleaze!
Were you running with the candle and then you slipped and fell and the candle flew through the air and hit the bowl?
So the toilet lid was up?
Is that unusual lol, my toilet lid is often upĀ
it's for summonings
Summoning the Golgothan?
And the Buddy Christ
They have rope lights behind the throne, so candles in the pan might be normal for these guys?
We all know it was a burrito
āNot enough information to solve this problemā
They obviously dropped a heavy candle on the bowl and broke it
And the toilet lid was up at the time.
Candle didnt even crack
I knowā¦ itās just when she āclarifiedā she said āit fell over and this happenedā- and then the first reply was āyup hot wax can be explosiveā.
āFell overā is a bad way to say ācandle in heavy glass holder fell OFF and down five feet until it smashed into the bowlā.
You had to be here.
"Candle make toilet go boom"
So many questions, including why you have a string of lights around your lavatory
Building codes state that paths to evacuation must be illuminated.
Make sure you wear your PPE too.
Pee Pee Eee
I thought this was a legit answer and then I thought why is there bathroom in the path of evac.. oh.. you got me. XD
ha!
HAHAHA
Alright that's good
It really ties the room together
Mood lighting for those times when you need moral support
Setting the mood for bidet use of course
big light bad
Covered in excrements.
Was.. the candle.. intended to be near the toilet?
Depends.
How much Chipotle did they eat?
Have people never seen scented candles in a bathroom?Ā
You heard OP right the first time. The candle broke through their toilet. What more is there to explain? You want a memoir?
Can you please explain exactly what happened and how it broke? I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean by the title.Ā
Edit: another op who doesn't answer any questions in the comments š¤¦š¤
I'm assuming a somewhat large candle fell/slid off the top of the tank or a shelf above that. A large, full Yankee candle could absolutely smash that porcelain at the right angle.
Iām totally confused by these comments, Iāve always had candles in my bathroom (albeit smaller tea lights). Is it that odd?Ā
Right?! The bathroom is such a normal place to use candles and everybody is acting like itās some crazy idea
Candle broke through our toilet!
I'm assuming this is a bot that got this post from somewhere else and reposted it. The text mentions Halloween night, which last occurred over a month ago
Open flame and a bean dinner. OP is trying to spare us the disgusting details.
candle? what?
OP calls their turds "candles".
This is the one that sent me giggling stifling-ly in the wee hours of the morning, trying not to wake anything else up. š¤
Someone dropped a glass candle (picture a Yankee candle) on the edge of the toilet and it broke the porcelain.
I get the candle. Exorcisms happen when I go, too. Need all the spirits you can get sometimes.
PSA - don't ever sit on a cracked toilet. If you need to be convinced, google images of "cracked toilet injury"
Iām not doing that
Good idea.
That's okay, I'm alright. Something about sharp pointy bits and them impaling my ass doesn't need a Google search to imagine the horrific injuries.
Oh no, that's not the concern, the concern is it cracks the rest of the way, slices your femoral artery, and you bleed out in like 30 seconds
Yeah, OP saying that maintenance came by to āfix itā is very concerning. Landlord should just replace the thing. Iād never be able to trust it.
Ok sorry that was my bad lol. By fix it I meant replace it! They lowk did not caulk the bottom though, but dude was bleeding so I cannot complain.
Also before I get dragged both me and my fiance urged him to go to the ER rather than finish replacing the toilet, but he insisted he was fine. (Also fiance is a doctor so was able to help a little)
Yikes, why was he bleeding?? Did he sit on it to be sure it was broken?
"Fucking whiners, it's fine. Watch, I'll drop a deuce right now."
Everyone is wondering how a candle broke the toilet. Weāre not talking about a wax projectile. Weāre taking about a wrecking ball ass yankee candle falling on it. Right?
Your title makes it sound like the candle just busted out of your toilet like the Kool-aid Man.
This is the story I will tell my children. OHH YEAHH.
Iām so confused
Porcelain cuts deep. Nothing sharper than a broken chunk of toilet.
Killer opening bars, man š©āš¤š§šļøšļøš¶
I suggest you stop eating candles.
That s my favorite Elton john song Like a Candle Breaks a Toilet
Was the candle fired from a cannon?
Was it the candle from Beauty and the Beast?!
Lumiere goes rouge!
Why are there so many buttons on your toilet?
Because they have a bidet.
Whatās a French hat got to do with their toilet?? /j
Thatās a menorah
No you're thinking of a pez
Sport mode
You mean sport commode?
Shitter lights, hell yeah.
Shoulda gone with the poop knife instead of using a candle...
There are videos online how to fix that with instant noodles and glue. Good luck
Leave a positive review of the candle on Google š

Which one of us is having the stroke is it me or is it the op
Since no details, im gong with a theory on the candle
Backlighting a crapper is new
I love how we donāt even get a backstory and are just left to keep wondering how this all happened in the first place lol
I feel like everyoneās stories are more interesting than the truth (which is that a candle fell from a shelf above our toilet)
That is some great mood lighting for a poo. Really sets the space.
I hope you mean by "fixing" it he is replacing it. There's no fixing that
Direct LED strip lighting is awful. Put it in a run of C-channel like a tasteful person smh
This is actually the first Iāve ever heard of a c channel. Iāve been wanting to fix that lighting for a while. Thank you for the recommendation!
More important. Why do you have fairy lights behind your toilet

This happened with the seat up? Another reason to put the seat down
Candle?
Your toilet looks more high tech than my whole house.
Lol me being an idiot thought you put a floating candle in the toilet water bowl and the heat from it cracked the porcelain until I read about a candle being dropped hahaha
Something like this:

Either your toilet is weak or you have the Giga Chad of candles.
Everyone seems to be stuck on various candle question. Im wondering what on earth do you mean FIX IT? You dont fix a broken toilet, you replace it.
Welcome to the danger zone!!
Stop throwing big ass candles at the toilet
Iām so confused about how a candle is incorporated in this pic/story
Candle, probably in a heavy glass jar, was knocked off a shelf and hit the edge of the toilet, shattering it.
Lesson learned; donāt put candles in the toilet, the result may be explosive.
But is the bidet okay though?
Nope š had to replace it
What kinda space torlet is that?!
Thatās a posh bog
My husband broke a toilet like this twice within a year. Once was a cologne bottle. I forgot how it happened the other time. I couldnāt believe it. In all my years Iād never seen a toilet break and he managed it twice.
Why does your toilet have mood lights..
What kind of space toilet is that?
Iām too high to comprehend this title rn
Luckily not a predickament, this time
Candle?
Correction: a glass container holding a candle broke your toilet
OP please tell me by fixed you mean they replaced the toilet
This exact thing happened to my husband! It was a crazy loony-toon looking crack. He was removing a sleeve off a candle to light and it slipped out, fell in the toilet, broke the toilet, candle was fine. I just said ā HOW? Only you could do thisš¤£āābut it looks like heās NOT the only one.
I'm more worried about the maintenance man's risk of infection from a toilet cut. Hope the poor guy is ok. Any updates?
Bro got his toilet backlitĀ
PSA for everyone - Broken porcelain is ridiculously sharp
A... CANDLE?
HOW?
Donāt sit on that toilet!
Including Halloween night but nothing about the candle made me laugh from my gut thank you š
Why you need rgb in the bathroom?
Like, a candle in a glass jar broke your toilet? Or just solid wax?
No shit
There's no need to lie bro. Just tune the bidet down a little. If it did this to your toilet, I'd hate to see what it's done to your boots hole.
Who eats a candle?
Crap-O-Lantern
God I can't imagine the disgust of cutting myself with someone else's toilet yuuuuucckk
Iām more intrigued by the rope lighting behind the toilet, along the baseboards. Quite confident.
at least you have a bidet š¤
All you need are some instant noodles and super glue.
HOW IS THIS LIKE THE 3RD BROKEN TOILET IVE SEEN ON MY FEED IN 10 POSTS
You spelled ābombā wrong
I want to know what's up with the party lights. Specifically, why are they so poorly placed?? They start off along the trim, loop over the plumbing, and then the string just ends limply hanging on the floor.
ramen and super glue
Also, do yourself a favor, peel the sticky lights. Especially if theyāre the type wit the rubbery coat, shit is a nightmare for bathrooms.
That does suck. Sorry to hear š
Nice bidet though! #BidetMasterrace
I bet those lights are so gross.
People can't seem to grasp the concept of keeping the toilet lid CLOSED.
What IS that?
I'm more worried you are referring to the poor maintenance guy as a thing
None of you guys in the comment never lit a candle in the washroom it seems. It smells good and gives you some intimate ambience when pooping.
Go shopping
What a pile of shit.
Handle?
Like a candle near some wind
I think you need to turn down the water pressure on the bidet.
Now thatās a well made candle. šÆļø
Id your candle made out of a bowling ball?
